White Fire

Everything is tragic

It all just falls apart

When I look into your eyes

The pieces of my heart

I only had an answer

To put it all to bed

I wish sometimes I could take back

Every word I said

I walk back in the night alone

Got caught up in my song

Forgot where I was sleeping

None of the lights were on

I heard my mother thinking me

Right back into my birth

I laugh so loud inside myself

It all began to hurt

So I turned on a picture show

I disappear the lines

As memories came flitting in

The tears blew out my eyes

I see an elevator

A moment I am above

I look for you

Oh someone who can still remind me of

The tight grip

And the sun lake

And the calm way of all things summer

When I told you

And I told new

And you're not hungover

Fear sunlight and you

Fear sunlight and you

When you don't know that you're wrong

Or just how wrong you are

My feet are always heavy

As I inch towards the door

I thought we'd leave this for ourselves

A hundred times before

But I guess we're always leaving

Even when we look the same

And it eases me somehow to

Know that even this will change

If you've still got some light

In you then go before it's gone

Burn your fire for no witness

It's the only way it's done

Fear sunlight and you

Fear sunlight and you

Hit the ground and run

Hit the ground and run
